I'n near to finish an installation on a Thinkpad T60 with TOH 10.5.1 on a USB disk.

 

- wireless - ok

- Ethernet - ok

- Display - ok

- Sound - Not yet

 

The installation process i followed is this one:

 

Boot from the install CD

Format the USB disk. MBR and Mac OSX Journaled. Called the partition Leopard

Open a terminal before continue the installatio

type:

/usr/misc/script.sh Leopard ----> execute three times the same script

Select components and finish the install

When finish, reboot, extract the cd and boot from the USB

If u enter in an infinite welcome loop when selectin transfer my information from another mac, do the following:

- reboot, press f8 and boot with -v -s.

- mount -uw /

- touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone

- passwd

type your password for root

 

reboot

Login as root

Now is time to try to get your ethernet and wireless working:

get this IO80211Family.kext and copy it to you /System/Library/Extensions

my file is prepared to use device 168C,1014 for the atheros WIFI, so feel free to chage it to match your card.

Now, make the same precedure with IONetworkingFamily.

Delete /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/networkInterfaces.plist

Delete /System/library/Extensions/Extensions.mkext

reboot

 

and ... must work ... at least for me.

I know this is old, but how exactly did you get the wireless to work ? You make reference to a different IO802 family you downloaded, but I don't see where it is.
